Where can I record things I buy?

If you buy items from walk-ins you might want to record those purchases in Quail. To record a purchase – or any one-off expense that you want to track – open the Stores page in the sidebar, then click Purchases:

This opens up the purchases list, which – since you’ve never recorded a purchase – will be unsurprisingly empty. Click the orange New Store Purchase button (or the green New Purchase button in the top-right) to record a new purchase:

You should see a window pop up where you can record the details of this purchase:

Enter in a short description and the amount you paid. You can also enter in a longer note to help you remember why you bought this thing in the first place.

Click Record Purchase, and you should see your newly-recorded purchase in the list:

Click the blue pencil icon on the right to edit the purchase record, or the red trash icon to delete it.

Purchases that you record show up at the bottom of your daily store report, so you can include them in your end-of-day closing. Your total spend on purchases is also shown in your monthly store report, so you can see how much you’re spending over time on acquisitions!
